| ‘Tuesday, December 14, 1954 THE KEY WEST Citizen Legionnaires: Our meeting of Wednesday night, December 8, was a very interesting and construc- tive one. Long range plans for improvements of the building and grounds were proposed, and it was passed that the Commander ap- point a committee, and would in- struct this committee to carry this program frum administration to administration. The possibilities for a large chil- dren’s play ground are wonderful as we not only have the space; but we already own equipment for use of the children. A baseball dia- mond is not impossible. The entertainment and recrea- tion of our members and their fam- ilies, must be our aim for this fu- ture program. There must be an incentive to join the American Le- gion besides a willingness to work and sacrifice for your fellow veter- an. After our work is done, there must be an outlet for tenseness A 92 Legionitems @ By NORMAN KRANICH Post Commander, Arthur Sawyer Post No, 28 American Legion and pent up emotions, Recreation and good clean fun is the answer.

Only one day, Mr. President? Every day should be safe driving day. « We as Legionnaires, should set an example for safe driving. Sta- tistics prove that there are more casualties on our highways in a driving year than there are casual- ties on a battlefield for that same year. If there was an organiza- tion composed of accident victims, it would have more members than all the other organizations put to- gether, both veteran and civie. And that is just listing the survivors of these accidents, Not only are we concerned with highway accidents. What are we doing about other accidents due to earlessness such as fire, domestic, boating, etc. Carlessness plays the largest role in accidents. Legionnaires and fellow citizens; won’t you join with me, in making every day Safety Day? xk wk *& Kiddie Xmas Party: A day of fun is promised to the children of Legionnaires at their annual Christmas Party, which will be held on Saturday, December 18, at the American Legion Home on Stock Island.

Hunter’s Slaying May Be Ruled As Justifiable TAMPA (f—All factors point to justifiable ‘homicide ‘in the week- end slaying of a hunter by his brother-in-law, Deputy Sheriff Ross Anderson said. Anderson said Earl Lightsey, 35, of Tampa, notified officers he shot Albert Lane, 38, of Odessa because Lane apparently went berserk and shot him first with a shotgun. Lightsey is in good condition at a Tampa hospital with leg wounds. The shooting took place Satur- day night at the Lightsey family ranch in northwestern Hillsbor- ough County where the brothers- in-law went raccoon hunting. They were alone at the ranch. The officer said Lightsey related Lane shot him without warning and that Lightsey retreated as far as he could before returning the fire with a pistol. Lane was shot once in the chest. Deputy Anderson said he had in- formation that Lane had been un- stable and there were indications he had been drinking. Home.

SIGNS Phone 2-7531 RAR PMAMRAN GAAP Rules Change Considered For Probe Groups By JOHN CHADWICK ‘WASHINGTON i — Senate Re- jpublican Leader Knowland said Monday proposed changes in rules for Senate investigating commit- tees “undoubtedly will be taken up” early in the next session of Congress. . He said in an interview there appears to be a general feeling among senators that “some rules changes are necessary and desir- able.” . Various proposals to- establish “a code of fair procedures” for investigating committees were of- fered during the past session of Congress, but no action was taken on them. In part they grew out of the McCarthy-Army row and other Sen. McCarthy’s handling of the Senate Investigations subcommit- tee. Democrats will coftrol the new Congress, and Knowland said it will take “a high degree of coop- eration” between the parties to effect any rules changes, But he said that if this is achieved and if the subject is taken up early enough, he believed rules changes could be adopted. He did not commit himself to any specific changes. The special bipartisan commit- |tee which recommended censure of McCarthy also urged four rules changes which it said would have |prevented ‘‘much of the criticism against investigative committee hearings.” A Senate Rules subcommittee under the chairmanship of Sen. Janner (R-Ind) held extensive hearings earlier in the year on pro- |posals for fair investigating pro- | cedures. Jenner said several weeks ago a report would be ready by the time the new Congress con- | venes. The Senate Republican Policy Committee drafted last spring sug gested changes in rules which some Senate committees adopted voluntarily. While not spelling out details, | Knowland said a code of fair pro- | cedures should deal with the rights of witnesses, methods of issuing subpoenas, hearing practices, and ; television and broadcasting prob- lems. Soviet Will Aid In Compiling History Of Man MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay » — Soviet Russia has agreed to help write a monumental history of the scientific and cultural development | of mankind, sponsored by UNES- | co. | The project, started in 1950 by the United Nations Educational, | Scientific and Cultural Organiza- | tion, is being carried forward by a semi-independent international |commission with headquarters in Paris. It has recruited some of the world’s best known historians as editors, corresponding members | and consultants. | Plans call for publication of the six-volume giant history in 1958. Each 800-page volume will cover a period of mankind’s development, from prehistoric days to 1950. An abridged two-volume version will also be published. Russia and its Eastern European allies for the first time since UN- ESCO was created in 1945 have yj been attending a general confer- ;ence of UNESCO here. They have requested to participate in writing jand editing the history. | STRONG ARM BRAND COFFEE Triumph Coffee Mill at ALL GROCERS By KARL R. BAUMAN WASHINGTON (—Owen Latti- more’s attorneys sought in court} arguments Monday to knock out | a new twocount indictment) against the controversial Far! Eastern specialist. | They contended in advance briefs that ‘the sole issue . . . would be Lattimore’s opinion of his opinions,” but U. S. Dist. Atty. Leo A. Rover replied that the le- gal attack on the indictment “can | be reduced to an objection to the mere fact that he was indicted.” The hearing set Rover once more before Dist. Judge Luther W. Youngdahl, whom he had ac- cused earlier in an affidavit of hav- ing “a fixed personal bias and prejudice” in favor of Lattimore and against the government. Youngdahl struck Rover's affida-| vit from the record as ‘‘scanda- lous” and refused to disqualify | himself from hearing the case. | The new indictment alleges that | Lattimore lied when he told the Senate Internal Security subcom-} mittee in 1952 that he (1) had nev- er been a follower of the Commu-| nist line and (2) had never been | a promoter of Communist inter- | ests. | It was returned after Judge Youngdahl had dismissed as too | vague the key count of an earlier | andictment which charged that Lat- | timore lied in denying that he was | a Communist sympathizer or pro- | moter of Red causes. The U. S. Court of Appeals upheld the dis- missal by an 8-1 vote, but rein- stated two other counts which Youngdahl had thrown out.
